More Noosa birds.
A nice finale to your Noosa shoot - and you nailed that Noisy Friarbird in a lovely setting, George.

Just noticed that you shot the Corella at Tewantin where I once stayed with my parents at the Royal Mail Hotel in 1942(?) where my dad was attending a conference. I vividly recall QLD delegates taking us to Noosa Heads that in those days was just a lovely deserted golden beach, unrecognisable for what it was when I re-visited there in the 80's.

It's no longer that deserted golden beach. The Sacred KF in my previous post was taken in a stand of mangroves, right across from the posh Sheraton Hotel.
The birding was as good as any other location due to the surrounding national parks.

Gidday George,Beautiful shots there mate,I really like the shot of the Noisy Friarbird,Tark summed up my thoughts perfectly.
Top stuff,thanks for sharing.
I can believe that George. By default we humans in our attempt to "possess it" have a knack of trashing all places of great beauty. Anyway, to end on a positive note I can see that QLD is still a birder's paradise and I need to get up there soon, perhaps next winter when as now birds are thin in the air down here.

Nice work George, great shots, this and the other post.

George great photo's mate,the noisy friarbird actually looks handsome in the great surrounding foliage .
Yes I agree with Raoul - your noisy friarbird does look more handsome than most. Very sharp as well
